Estate Photography
Ground and aerial photography that shows a property at its best - captured by a federally licensed commercial drone pilot.
Great photography sells properties and showcases estates, and aerial imagery in particular tells a story that ground-level shots cannot - the full footprint of the land, the setting, the rooflines, and the surroundings. John Atkinson is a federally licensed commercial drone pilot, which means Preferred Inspections can legally and safely capture professional aerial imagery to complement ground photography. Serving Ohio and West Virginia in the Tri-State Area, John partners with realtors and property owners to produce imagery that presents a property accurately and attractively. The same attention to detail and professionalism that defines his inspection work carries into his photography - and his commercial drone licensure ensures every flight is conducted to federal standards.
